Japanese Sesame Sauce
Although it's most commonly associated with Shabu Shabu, Japanese sesame sauce or Goma Dare is a versatile condiment used for dipping, dressing, or seasoning a wide variety of foods. My Goma Dare recipe is easy to make in the blender and makes for a creamy umami-rich sauce that's packed with sesame flavor.
